Haiku on Wheels
I
Arizona us
Sweet watermelon sunsets
Behind the strip malls
II
Three on the terrace
John between our tie-dyed shirts
You delete your socks
III
Segovia us
Indian motel clerk says
Lots of bikers here
IV
Harley in the hills
Photos in black leather vests
Motel has a pool
V
In New Mexico
We fight over gas prices
The moon doesn’t care
VI
In Van Horn Texas
The Sweet Shoppe is deserted
There is just one bar
VII
Last stop New Jersey
Washington Heights say good bye
Take the A train home

Poems, performances, photography, productions, stories, prose, music, journalism, band, songwriting, videos - surviving despite the odds. Is it all true? Yeah. Maybe. Sometimes. Mostly. Creation is transformative. I collaborate with amazing artists and musicians, primarily with my band, Puma Perl and Friends. Books available as well: knuckle tattoos, Belinda and Her Friends, Ruby True, Retrograde, Birthdays Before and After. Photo, Len DeLessio
